The major purposes of this report were to: (1) conduct an in-depth survey of both the technical and marketing problems in the United States Anthracite Industry (predominately in Northeastern Pennsylvania); and (2) make recommendations in areas of technical R and D needs that will enhance the United States export of anthracite to foreign markets (especially Korea). The report identifies various anthracite culm drying and other coal utilization concepts; recommends several anthracite utilization configurations which appear to be the most suitable to the Korean market and a sensitivity analysis on these configurations; and identifies several solutions to resolve some of the problems which were identified relative to: (a) reducing the price of exporting anthracite; (b) the producers quality control activities which relate to meeting the Korean specifications and generally improving the understanding on the contract terms that relate to the encouragement of long term commitments of anthracite by Korea. 33 refs., 23 figs., 33 tabs.
